CHEMISTRY DESIGN WERKS
HOLEYBOARDS
Love pedals, but hate trying to scrub sticky
residue off of them? Have no fear, the
Holeyboard is here. At first glance, the
masterful boards from Chemistry Design
Werks resemble large pieces of Swiss
cheese, but they are the perfect option for
anyone looking to go Velcro-free. Using
the many holes, you can strap your pedals
down tight with zip ties, so you never have
to worry about trying to peel something off
of your beloved Klon when you decide to
leave it at home for the gig. A Holeyboard is
a must for anyone who changes their pedals
frequently, or just wants to keep them clean,
whether for resale value or just because
they like their pedals to look shiny and neat.
Holeyboards are durable, functional, and
have an intuitive two-tier design, allowing
players to place their favorite pedals up top
so they can reach them for tweaking midsong. Zip ties may not be the sexiest-looking
way to fasten pedals to a board, but they
double as stage security. I still remember
when the guitarist in my junior high band
(I was on drums for that one) came back
from a Bela Fleck show and bragged that he
stole Mr. Fleck’s envelope filter right off the
stage. Had Holeyboards been around then,
he would have been caught red-handed, and
he could think about his dastardly deed in
juvenile hall while Bela kept playing sweet,
swirly banjo licks. For the record, our band
dissolved shortly thereafter due to creative
and ethical differences.
